Vintage Postcard Save the Date

my sweet niece meganne and phil are getting married at the historic leo carrillo ranch. very cool spot, which has some beautiful peacocks, so we added a bit of whimsy with a little feather. they wanted to feature the rich heritage of the location. so, we used some artistic shots of the location and creating a vintage postcard for their save the date.

Earth Friendly Wedding invitations

.






















wanted to share some ideas i am working on for a self mailing, earth friendly approach to a 'crisp & clean' wedding invitation. using minimal materials with maximum impact. the response is a tear off and printed on a single sheet of recycled paper. i would love to print this on a 'plantable' flower seed paper! that would really leave a lovely 'footprint'

napa maps and weekend fun...

i love etsy...and i have a new shop there. i was contacted by Jen a fun New Orleans bride-to-be. She asked me to design a fun weekend schedule and map for her wedding guests. looks like a fun time indeed! makes me want a glass of wine in a vineyard.

p.s. i love you...logos

here is a cool project i was asked to do. if you saw the movie "p.s. i love you" then you understand the company's concept. i like the angel wings decending love from above. which do you like?

save the date postcard for ali & jeff

ali and jeff are an amazing couple! after graduating college, they worked in zambia together with "acirfa" (africa spelled backwards)  http://www.abikes.org/ such a great organization.
ali and jeff are environmentally thoughtful, and are using minimal materials for their wedding paper goods .
here are the postcard ideas for their save the dates, of course on recycled cardstock. (they chose the top sample)

Mountain Wedding

couldn't wait to show the sweet details of lauren and collin's wedding. the bride freed me to excercise my creative muscle, by working on the whimsical maps and weekend schedule. the fun reply will let the guests know, that this will be a fun and interactive event. the tree carving on the invitation was done by the groom, at the site where the couple got engaged and where they will get married. (love that!)
